It’s a good show. No bookings for me yet. Plenty on fine boom sticks and two pipes to drool over.

I’ve had a great experience so far. I like the location and set up.

Reached several milestones:

1. Booked Ele, Buff, Tiny 10, PG, small cats hunt for Bots, Moz, and SA for Oct 2026.

2. Got good quote and dates for Spain for Ibex, Chamois, Mouflon, Roe Deer, Iberian Red Deer, Wild Boar, and possibly a Fallow… Then extend my stay to take in a F1 Race and finish with 3 days of fishing on Canary Islands. Talked my Girlfriend into going too…

3. Got a good quote and dates for BC Moose, Whitetail, and Lynx plus a wolf tag. 12 Days in Nov 2027.

4. Got a good quote and dates for Scotland for December this year for 5 days hunting Red Stag and Roe Deer. Then I’ll stay another 5 days to see the sites and pay my respects. My grandfather was named William Wallace, so it’s time I made the pilgrimage.

5. Got a good quote and dates for a 2027 Caribou hunt. Still need to sort that out.

6. Meeting an outfitter early tomorrow for breakfast to talk about Yukon Moose Hunt.

7. Got fitted for Kenetrek (Mountain Extreme 400) boots and will likely order those tomorrow.

8. Talked to Ty at MOA Rifles and spec’d out a custom Left Hand 7MM REM MAG, but likely go with a 7 PRC Extreme MTNR with 22” barrel and a pretty small, but effective can. Although Ty is trying to talk me into a 20” barrel…

9. Getting a quote from Gracy for my Africa flights with Emirates through Dubai to get to Joberg in the morning. Then catch my next flight to Moz.

10. Stopped at Heym to discuss time frame and options on a LH Double in 500 NE. 2 Years timeframe…

11. Spent some time with my NZ outfitter. He was eager to show me how many of my videos made it in his promo. They actually came out pretty good considering they were filmed on an iPhone through a spotting scope.

12. Got a quote and dates from a Saskatchewan outfitter for ducks and geese for 2027. For a group of 10 people.

13. Tried on some Arctic Parkas. Expensive!

14. Talked to SWIFT about some 450 bullets. May pick up a box of each A-Frame Heavy and Break-Away Solids. Prices are going up, again!

Tomorrow will be locking in contracts and paying out more deposits. Then dinner with some of AH’s finest!
